Everything in my life is a mess including myself and my poetry
My bowl of cereal Tastes like giving up Every cheerio hits my stomach With the finality of death. When I'm full I'm not pretty I'm not thin My stomach bloats And I am disgusting. Laxatives are my best friend They'll wash everything away. Stomach acid Burns my throat As I empty my stomach Again and again But true beauty is pain And that pain is my beauty Because I know I'll never be pretty But maybe I can be Skinny

Skinny
Please don’t fall asleep If you do I will be stuck here by myself In my head. I am filled with monsters of all shapes and sizes. They lurk in the corners waiting for the silence to consume me so they can Whisper their truths inside my head. She hates you. The words echo around my brain Poisoning my thoughts but now I know. She hates me. Please wake up. Tell me I’m lovely again. Lets sit in the park and whisper our quiet I love you’s Across the vast lake that is my sorrow. Lets hide in the basement Giggles muffled by our alcohol sodden tongues. Just once more Will you silence the monsters in my head? Just once more Will you kiss away the poison? Just once more Say you love me please Before the monster consumes my soul.

Her
Bury me in stories Fill my head with pretty Pictures Throw words into my cage They will fill me up Taking away my reality Help me find the right Words To unlock my prison I’ll cram my words into a key Unlock my prison Only to find myself falling Once again. Bury me in a ditch On the side of the road Let the maggots Fill my head. Decomposition Will be my key The swearing in my brain Silenced Rot will take me over Then I will be words Spoken of the lips of Loved ones A story The sorrow will fade As my skin drys Peeling away from my skull And as my words are spread Then I will be in Paradise

Paradise
Saying I’ll die for someone isn’t very loving when I wake up day after day wanting to die. So if I tell you my dear that I would die for you I must not love you because if I loved you then I would tell you that I would live for you.

She filled me up with butterflies Their wings made of her Charcoal hair. Butterflies as beautiful as her and Almost as dangerous. Once they realized She left me behind The carnivorous little devils Ate me alive From the inside out, Their bites hurt almost as much as her Silence. I haven't  seen her in months And the butterflies are dying Their rotting corpses Thud to the ground Next to my broken heart. As the silence screams at me The last butterfly dies   And I am almost free But once again she reaches out And grabs my heart Her claws tearing me apart Then her butterflies stitch me back together once again.

Butterflies
Trying to fill the empty spaces with coffee stained pages and the memory of a kiss on a windy night when you were both drunk and under your closed eyes there was only the illusion of a different tomorrow where birds would sing the music of your mind where planes would take you to a place where the roses never die. You  fall asleep every night picturing yourself wearing a nice shirt and a pretty **** smile and in your dreams her white dress dances around your body in the shadow of a ****** red sky. Is it hope or is it just a lie? Eating crumbs of happiness from the pavement won't turn you into a pigeon, you're still a fish swimming in a bowl of pain surrounded by the smoke of the cigarette left burning in the heart serving as an ashtray. And in the end you realize that life is just a space between hellos and goodbyes.

Illusion
She was made out of ribbons and butterflies She floated with a tragic grace and a melancholy smile painted on her face She only existed by the magic and wonder of lost yesterdays There was a quite storm of rage and sorrow trapped in her eyes She found comfort in the fingertips of deaths cold grip Though she could no more die than she could sleep or dream And she could not sleep or dream for she was made of dreams She lived in streches of hours and days And inbetween seconds and flashes She was neither here or there But always everywhere The ocean crashed and rolled within the threads of her hair Tidal waves of mist hid her ever flowing tears In moments of secrecy she prayed for the extinction of ribbons And of a burning blaze to consume the last wing of all butterflies

Ribbons and butterflies
I remember the days when we were two stupid kids, we were eating blackberries grown on tombs and the moon was just a big stone the sun was leaving its last breath on. Now I am looking for you on the Wood street where you last time smiled at me, on the Wood street where people eat with their hands the remains  of those burned by unhappiness, while fools sing about love and dreams and the holes in their hearts. I am looking for you and I don't know whether you are a human or a dream or the ash that slips through my frozen fingers. Maybe you are just the hole in my soul, maybe the moon is more than a big stone, maybe I loved you maybe you are still there somewhere in the Sun's last breath. Maybe it's just your smile that has burned covering my soul my hands.

on the Wood St.
The most terrifying catastrophes Are words wrapped around my brain. How my lungs fill with liquid And screaming only calls the darkness Closer My arms welcome it Without my permission because Darkness Is my oldest friend My most dangerous enemy My unwelcome companion in the middle of the night But without the darkness I would become nothing An empty shell that used to be Full of mystery
